Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Devotion Intense
This flanker swings wildly between a gourmand masterpiece and an absolute scrubber. It's a divisive hazelnut orange blossom bomb, dialling up the intensity on the original D&G Devotion, but not for everyone. Expect love-it-or-hate-it reactions from this beast-mode scent.
Statement
Our Verdict - Pentimento
This one is a proper divisive beast. You'll either love its unique blend of nutty gourmand and unexpected florals, finding it a cosy, sexy winter scent, or you'll be running for the hills from its 'synthetic' or 'nauseating' opening. Definitely not a blind buy.

Season and Occasion Fit

Devotion Intense

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and strong gourmand character make it too overwhelming for an office, yet perfect for a date or special evening out. While some find it too sweet for casual wear, its warmth suits colder weather casual outings, but definitely not suitable for sport.

Pentimento

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its sweet, woody, and rum accords, combined with moderate sillage, make it too prominent for a formal office setting. However, its sensual and cosy nature is perfect for date nights or relaxed casual wear, especially in cooler weather, as mentioned by several reviewers.
